Year one have already learnt about the different plants and getting to know the main characteristics.

This Summer term the children have been looking to see what is growing in the Wildwood; identify different leave types, learning their different names. And when a weed is a weed.

Below I have attached one of the websites that we have been using:
Wild and garden plants - BBC Bitesize

Reviewing Our Work

The children were asked to review their work on their flip books and to discuss and write about how they produced them and what happened.

​Next Step: What could they do differently?

The children were shown a clip from the BBC KS1 website on how to make Flip Books.

The children planned their Flip books: 
1. Folded a piece of A4 paper, so when unfolded they had eight clear sections.
2. They then planned what was going to go on their frames
3. Once happy with their plan they took a piece of A4 card, folded it so they had eight pieces
4. Cut the card and draw their pictures using their plan

Once completed the frame/books were stapled in place and the children flipped their books to see their characters move.

Below I have taken the book apart and used a Stop Motion APP to show what it looks like.

Our finished rockets 

As part of our DT project on rockets we have been trying to master the skills of cutting and folding. 

Cutting in straight lines and zigzags and then folding paper up into 32 triangles!!!!!

Thank you Ms Rowe for such a great time in the Wildwood.

Today we planted runner beans, went on a worm hunt (yes worm hunting), on a spring hunt and a spring nature walk.
